Printer Setup without Internet, Router or computer

[Deathmaster111]

Hi,

Can you set up the "HP Deskjet 3755 Wireless All-in-One Printer" without an internet connection or router/computer?

All I have is an android phone... so is it possible to setup andbuse this printer without a router/computer and without an internet connection?

Like can I just turn it on as soon as I get it and connect to it using my android phone for printing ?

Or does it require an internet connection to set it up first? Because on the box it said "requires an internet connection for setup"

Thank you for any clarification

Hi,

You may use the printer using HP Wi-Fi Direct without a network, internet access would be required to get the HP app from the store, therefore the requirement.

You may follow its user guide to enable Wi-Fi Direct for your printer, see the 'Connect wirelessly to the printer without a router' section on page 59:

Thank you!

But do you need to connect the printer to the internet first or a computer/router to set up a WiFi Direct name and password?

Or will I be able to connect to the printer right out-of-the-box using my android phone (no computer/internet/router required for an initial set up)?

No. You wouldn't need to connect the printer to the internet, you may enable Wi-Fi Direct using the printer buttons as listed be the user guide, then you may connect and change its name from your phone... no PC, router or internet access is required and you may print from your phone directly.
